1989? Thatcher? No,
The root of all this lies in 1973 with Heath. When we went into the Common Market, Mr T promised there would be no loss of sovereignty. He later confessed he knew there would be. It was also in the early 1970s that the first European maps excluding the word "England" (broken up into regions) were published.
I blame Thatcher for anything I can. But she didn't start this ball rolling.
'There are no secret plans to carve up the continent in a way that makes England disappear. There is no goal of creating a United States of Europe,' a European Commission spokeswoman said.....
The EU officials' argument appeared supported by the fact that the map reproduced by the Daily Mail originated not in Brussels, but the office of the Espace Manche Development Initiative, or EMDI - a joint Anglo-French project aimed at boosting cross-Channel cooperation.
The Daily Mail had not asked EMDI's permission to publish the map, the project's head, Bruno Thenail, told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa.
The leader of the anti-Lisbon Treaty group yesterday confirmed a report in Saturday's Irish Times that his organisation has registered as a European political party.
.... he said that the purpose was to offer other EU states an opportunity to vote on the Lisbon Treaty. "It will give people across Europe an option that they were not given, to have a proxy European referendum on the Lisbon Treaty," he said.
